Mohamed Azmin Ali is unperturbed by news that Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz is being investigated for various offences, including carnal intercourse.
Haziq previously implicated the economic affairs minister as the other man with him in several sex videos which were spread on social media.
Azmin has denied any involvement in the videos.
Asked today if he was concerned about the carnal intercourse probe, Azmin said he was not.
“No. To me, from day one (this) is gutter politics.
“And I have made my statement [...] I will not condone this.
“But since the report is there, let the authorities continue with the investigation. No one should intervene with the process,” he said when approached by the media after attending a Hari Raya Aidilfitri event in Bukit Antarabangsa in Kuala Lumpur today.
The PKR politician reiterated that he was ready to assist the authorities in their investigations.
Azmin previously characterised the scandal as a “nefarious” attempt to destroy his political career.
He also threatened legal action against Haziq.
Haziq was arrested at KLIA last night, where he had been scheduled to take a flight to Manila, the Philippines.
In total, the police are probing him under four laws:
1. Section 292, Penal Code - Distribution of obscene materials.
Punishment: Maximum three years jail, a fine or both.
2. Section 504, Penal Code - Intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.
Punishment: Maximum two years jail, a fine or both.
3. Section 377B, Penal Code - Carnal intercourse against the order of nature.
Punishment: Maximum 20 years jail and mandatory whipping.
4. Section 233, Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 - Producing content which is indecent, obscene, false, menacing, or offensive in character with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any person.
Punishment: Maximum one-year jail sentence, a maximum fine of RM50,000, or both.
